Check In

Long time no journal, again, so thought I'd check in and say hello. Work has been hectic as per usual and I just haven�t had the energy. Twinks says I�m getting old and he�s going to trade me in for a younger more energetic model.

I did actually have a go at growing the beard that I mentioned in my last entry, but it didn�t go down well with Twinks. He hated it and put an embargo on kissing and other oral pursuits until I got rid of it. No way was he allowing his delicate skin, facial or otherwise, to be marred by an ugly bristle rash just because I fancied trying to look butch in a beard. He�s a bossy little devil sometimes.

We had Karen, Paul and Dominic over for lunch today. Dom wasn�t in the best of moods and didn�t want to eat his dinner. Karen thinks he might be ailing for something, which panicked Twinks who began muttering about swine flu. He wanted to fuss Dom, but Dom didn�t want to be fussed so both of them ended up fractious. Dom took to the word �swine� and began bandying it about in a way that suggested he�d heard it in contexts other than as an ailment, something confirmed when he partnered it with �frigging.� Once Dom and co had departed for home I gave Twinkles a couple of firm swats to the backside. He didn�t ask what they were for, he knew and said sorry. He really tries not to swear in front of the kids, but sometimes he just lets slip.

Dom wasn�t the only fractious occupant of Swan Towers today. It�s our turn to have Jason this weekend and he�s been in a sulk since he arrived on Friday evening. He doesn�t want to talk to anyone, he doesn�t want to do anything and he refused to come down for lunch today because he said Dom got on his nerves. He�s been doing exams at school and Val thinks his moodiness is down to stress and tiredness, but Twinks reckons something else is bothering him. Lulu is coming over this evening and they�re going to have a bit of a makeover session and see if they can persuade Jason to join in. He usually enjoys an opportunity to dress up. If he relaxes he might divulge what�s on his mind.

Well, I�m off to make a cup of tea before Lulu arrives and the house explodes in a frenzy of fancy frocks, makeup and perfume.
